Hi Albert.

I am using Temo talking microwave oven.  At last check, they were still 
available through Wal-Mart, but through their online store only.  It doesn't 
speak everything, but we can still use it without labeling buttons.  I am 
not sure if Independent Living Aids still has the Temo or not.  I got mine 
when a friend of mine bought the I-Pal reader through Invision and they 
offered a free microwave with the purchase of same.  She already had one, so 
she offered it to me.

If you can find the Cobalt talking microwave, it speaks more, but I think it 
is overpriced at nearly $400.00.  I am told that microwave is no longer made 
for the United States market.

Braille overlays are getting hard to find as both GE and  Whirlpool have 
discontinued their Braille overlays.  So the only thing you can do there is 
make your own labels with dymo tape, and have a sighted person put them on. 
That's our good old ADA for you.  Good luck and 73.
Harvey
